Product Description
Trifluoro Acetic Acid (TFA) is a versatile reagent widely used in organic synthesis, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry. With a purity of 98.0%, this CDH-grade solvent is ideal for demanding applications like peptide synthesis, where high reactivity and minimal impurities are critical. Its strong acidic nature and volatility make it a preferred choice for HPLC mobile phases and protein sequencing protocols.
Whether you’re a researcher optimizing reaction conditions or a student working on a lab project, this trifluoroacetic acid ensures consistent results. The reagent is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, maintaining its stability during storage and use. For labs requiring reliable solvents, eqipped provides this high-quality TFA with fast shipping across India.

In peptide chemistry, TFA is often used for cleavage and deprotection steps due to its ability to dissolve resins without causing racemization. Its low boiling point allows for easy removal via evaporation, making it a staple in synthetic workflows. For HPLC applications, TFA acts as an ion-pairing agent, improving peak resolution in reverse-phase chromatography.
Safety is paramount when handling TFA. Always use it in a fume hood with proper PPE, as it is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. Store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like bases and oxidizing agents.
FAQs
